Thanksgiving is that special time of the year when our kitchen is bustling with the sweet smell of maple syrup and fresh thyme. 

If you’re anything like me, a plump guy who loves to cook up a storm for his family during the holiday season, you’re going to want to hear about our Thanksgiving Recipes category

We’ve got all your classic Thanksgiving menu favorites. From a juicy roast turkey that’ll be the star of the show, to the best recipes for sides like green bean casserole, brussels sprouts, and cornbread stuffing  or a Pepperidge Farm stuffing with a hint of sausage stuffing. And of course, our famous pumpkin pie poppers and apple pie recipes are there for a sweet ending.

Now, I tried the sweet potato casserole with a sprinkle of brown sugar last year, and let me tell you – it was a welcome addition to the thanksgiving table. But if you’re in the mood for a different twist, our butternut squash and farro casserole is right up there with the best Thanksgiving recipes. And speaking of Thanksgiving pies, don’t forget the pecan pie and that buttery pie crust!

For those who are all about good food but short on time, our easy recipes using the instant pot and air fryer are going to be lifesavers. We’ve even got some genius recipes for weeknight dinner, because let’s face it – you can never have too much turkey, right? And for the leftovers, our leftover turkey recipes are the perfect way to remix that turkey into something new.

Thanksgiving Food Ideas

The green beans, drizzled with olive oil and a hint of lemon zest, or the Thanksgiving mashed potatoes with a dollop of sour cream, are always a hit at my dinner table. If you’re trying to add some vegetarian options, our vegetarian thanksgiving dishes and Thanksgiving salads are there to add that savory side.

For those sweet tooths (like me!), besides pies, we’ve got autumnal desserts that are sure to be a hit. Think cranberry relish or cranberry sauce with a twist and corn casserole that’s creamy au gratin style. The dinner rolls, with a brush of melted butter and fresh herbs, will make your whole turkey day meal come together.

If you’re not sure how much turkey you’ll need or how to thaw that frozen turkey, no worries! Platter Talk’s got Thanksgiving turkey guides and tips to help.
